Roundabout

By: Mike Huckabee THE DEMOCRATS DIDN'T SEE IT COMING TUESDAY AND THEY WON'T AGAIN IN 2022: The big election in the Commonwealth of VA spelled both bad news and good news for Terry McAuliffe. The bad news is that he blew a big lead in his race to return for a 2nd term as Governor and lost in a state that went for Joe Biden just a year ago by 10 points. But the big news is that despite a stinging defeat by political newcomer Glenn Youngkin, McAuliffe got some good news: no, he won’t get to be back on the political stage as a Democrat Superstar, but he’s been offered a slot on Dancing with the Stars after demonstrating dance moves that are about as awkward as was his campaign. This was especially true when he told Virginia parents that basically it was none of their business what teachers taught and that parents should just butt out and let government schools pump divisive race-baiting hate for America and the utterly unscientific nonsense of there being multiple genders that one could be just by declaring it so.The Democrat leadership and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) didn’t see this coming. Of course not. They live in a small, but highly protected little bubble where they congratulate each other for being so much smarter than the rest of us. They don’t worry about crime since they are surrounded by armed guards and live behind gates. They don’t pump their own gas and really doesn’t know what it costs and really don’t care since they aren’t paying for it anyway. They are unaware that the Thanksgiving turkey that costs $12 last year will cost $21 this year. It’s lost on them that while they are being squired in government vehicles, the rest of America is paying big increases not just in the cost of the car, but fuel, insurance, parts, and taxes to license them.And it wasn’t just Virginia. In NJ, incumbent Governor Phil Murphy was expected to win a landslide, but his underfunded Republican opponent whose name no one could pronounce came within a fraction of a percentage point to take him out. In another race there, a truck driver who spent a whopping $153 on his campaign, ousted the state Senate President who probably didn’t see that truck that ran over him and left tire tracks on his political career.Of course, the crazies on leftist TV went berserk and cried that it was all about racism and sexism. Of course, were they so out of touch that they failed to notice that the Republican who won the Lt. Governor’s seat in VA was a black female immigrant who owns guns and served in the Marine Corps? And that the GOP candidate who was elected Attorney General was Hispanic? Joy-less Reid of BSNBC had an on-air meltdown along with her wigged out colleagues who must not get out much. And we certainly MUST hear from celebrities who entertain not just with their singing but with their uninformed whining. For example, do you CARE what Cher thinks? She thinks you do and in a mind-numbing clueless rant on Twitter, called Republicans Nazis and a “white’s only Club,” ignoring that the Lt. Gov and AG of VA were black and Hispanic. She needs to stick with talking about her own party, you know Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves.Fortunately for President Biden, he was out of the country when his party was re-enacting the sinking of the Titanic. He attended a climate conference to demand that Americans quit using fossil fuels, while the biggest polluters in the world, China and India just yelled “Let’s Go Brandon” at him. And of course, Joe traveled to Europe with 800 people in private or government jets and had a motorcade of 85 SUVs. The only thing putting out more gaseous fumes than his travel was when he made speeches of gibberish.Will the Democrats learn from their disaster this week? Nope. They think we like what they are doing to us and want to give us some more. In 2022, they will find out that we don’t like what they are doing to us, but we DO like what we’re doing to them, and we’ll give THEM some more and send more of them packing boxes and bags.
